I am sorry - I still haven't been able to replicate what you have done.
Using Protege 3.4, I deleted the RequirementsEngineer_1 and
RequirementsEngineer_One from the ontology and when I go back with a
text editor they are really gone.
One thing that I did notice in the ontology that you sent was that there
were several individuals in the protege:ExternalResource class. The
RequirementsEngineer_1 was there but there were also others
(Mr_Orris_Vester_Hester, OV_Hester, RequirementsAnalysis_1). I would
almost guess that these are individuals that you also thought you
deleted which are still present. I am not sure of the status of the
exernal resource dublin core stuff but that is probably not important.
But I don't know why your deletes were incomplete.
